While analysts and engineers may be responsible for defining the overall strategy for equipment, operators often have a better day-to-day understanding of physical equipment functions and conditions. An optimal equipment strategy can be more effective when operators monitor the physical equipment to detect the existence of the symptoms that indicate imminent failure. Meridium Operator Rounds puts Meridium APM in the hands of equipment operators via a handheld application that allows execution of asset strategies in the field by monitoring equipment performance and capturing condition data electronically. The Operator Rounds application integrates equipment strategies into day-to-day operations and surveillance programs and facilitates the efficient assessment and quantification of asset performance.
